Question

I have created a virtual directory in IIS > MySite as /Media to a network drive. //129.1.1.44/media/.
This is opening without any issues in explorer and i have the full permission to the folder,

when i right click the media folder from iis and select explore it's opening without any issues.

i also have given Full Control permission for IUSR, ISS_IUSRS, Network_Services on this folder.

But when i right click > Manage Virtual Directory > Browse i'm getting below error.

reading file (using  Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/MEDIA/123456.jpg") ) is working fine for me.

but i'm not able to upload.SaveAs any file to this folder. getting error "Access to the path '\\129.1.1.44\media\xyz.pdf' is denied."

HI ramiahragu

According to the error message above, the IIS_IUSRS group does not have the appropriate permissions for the ApplicationHost.config file, for the Web.config file, or for the virtual/application directories of IIS.

Grant the Read permission to the IIS_IUSRS group for the ApplicationHost.config file or for the Web.config file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. In Windows Explorer, locate the folder that contains the ApplicationHost.config file that is associated with the Web site, or locate the virtual directories or the application directories that contain the Web.config file that is associated with the Web site. Note The Web.config file may not be in the virtual directories or the application directories in IIS. Even in this situation, you need to follow these steps.
2. Right-click the folder that contains the ApplicationHost.config file, or right-click the virtual or application directories that may contain the Web.config file.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
5. Click Add.
6. In the Enter the object names to select box, type  computername\IIS_IUSRS, click Check Names, and then click OK. Note Computername is a placeholder for the computer name.
7. Click to select the Read check box, and then click OK.
8. In the Properties dialog box for the folder, click OK. Note Make sure the folder's properties are inherited by the ApplicationHost.config and Web.config files so that IIS_IUSRS has the Read permission for those files.

Please let me know if it can fix it.

Angie

Yeah, I don't think you can use a network share as virtual directory.

Reading file (using Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/MEDIA/123456.jpg") ) is working without any issues.

The issue what i'm facing is when i upload the file to this path i'm getting error "Access to the path '\\129.1.1.44\media\xyz.pdf' is denied." even after giving Full control permission.

You're referencing two different errors which is confusing. See the following kb article.

Hi,

reading file (using  Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/MEDIA/123456.jpg") ) is working fine for me.

but i'm not able to upload.SaveAs any file to this folder. getting error "Access to the path '\\129.1.1.44\media\xyz.pdf' is denied." 

This is a workaround,  set the root of the website as a specified user. see: Server.MapPath Access to the Path is Denied.
